The Realignment of the American Political Mind

by David Anderson, J.D. - April 1, 2018

American Political Mind

Whether the lure of authoritarianism is strong or is awakened in us, whether we’re angry or not: these are the new divisions. As fractured in so many metrics as we are, the result in this new America is we’re all now student-victims at Trump University.

Oh No, Jerusalem

by David Anderson, J.D. - February 7, 2018

Oh No, Jerusalem

Trump’s move, one of the most ill-considered US actions in the Middle East for a generation is just the latest iteration of a dynamic between a horribly unqualified president and the millstone of poison ideologies which will grind the region into dust.

Fear of a Black Flag: The Islamic State’s Propaganda and Future

by David Anderson, J.D. - July 14, 2017

Islamic State’s Propaganda and Future

Al Qaida’s dull Osama-lectures in Arabic never had the pizazz of IS’s sleek magazines and certainly not the charisma of their reality-tv snuff films. Their gruesome short films are filmically excellent.

The Real Reasons For This Qatari Kerfuffle

by David Anderson, J.D. - June 18, 2017

Qatari Kerfuffle

The allegation Qatar supports terror is rich coming from the Saudis who for decades have been promoting and subsidizing Wahhabism, the sharp end of fundamentalism which is intellectual architecture for ISIS.

Finding Aggressive Patriotism at the World’s Militant Theme Parks

by David Anderson, J.D. - June 8, 2017

World's Militant Theme Parks

A Yemeni Catastrophe That is Being Totally Ignored

by David Anderson, J.D. - June 7, 2017

Yemeni Catastrophe

We don’t hear much about it in part because the West is more concerned with Syria and Iraq’s rolling disasters, and tribal beefs in obscure, non-oily countries don’t interest us. Horribly though, we favor the Saudi destroyers.

Book Exposes World of the Sons of the North Korean Elite

by David Anderson, J.D. - May 24, 2017

Sons of the North Korean Elite

That said, Ms. Kim’s book is one of the most insightful reads a NK buff can use to explore from an armchair. Published in 2014, it could have been written yesterday, nothing has changed.

What’ll Happen in the Syria Civil War?

by David Anderson, J.D. - May 16, 2017

Syrian Civil War

Only a fool would predict, so here goes: Lebanon’s war lasted 15 years, but Syria’s will last longer because the foreign backers are in it for the long haul: for global, not regional, victory.

Liberals in 2017 – SMILE!

by David Anderson, J.D. - May 12, 2017

Liberals in 2017

The hard right’s flank has opened. This is not empowering for them, it spells disaster as the bulk of decent Americans and all liberals turn on the Republican Party with full force.

Faith-Based POTUS Tourism

by David Anderson, J.D. - May 8, 2017

Faith-Based POTUS Tourism

For his inaugural trip abroad our President has picked an unpredictable but thematically consistent itinerary. He’ll be stopping at the Vatican, then on to Israel and Saudi Arabia.
